First off, I need a new starter. I moved a few years ago but sadly lost
my starter in the process. I got in a hurry and didn’t do what I should
have done, which was make my starter into a drier levain so it’d survive
the trip better. So i’m still trying to get another one going. I’ve
made more than a few but just wasn’t happy with what I got. Mostly,
just really slow acting and really sharp flavor, if any.

Anyway, to make a long story short I’m trying my best not to “cheat” and
use commercial yeast to get it going. So, anyone have a good
recipe/method of making a good starter?

I’ve also asked the firend who gave me the original starter and she said
it was made from yogurt but I can’t seem to find any yogurt in my area
that isn’t full of additives and gums. Sad thing is, she no longer
bakes so... Any ideas?

Thanks Guys,
James
